My godfather is a Father Deacon. Without him, not only would I likely be lost in a wilderness of sin, but our corporate prayer would be lacking, and many homeless would surely starve.

Love your deacons, folks!

St. Stephen's account in Acts is one of my favorite passages in the entire NT. The way he masterfully silenced the pharisees protest against the Church to the extent that their only recourse was to kill him in order to make him go away and maintain their pride. Added to the power of this event is how God uses St. Paul's involvement in St. Stephen's martyrdom to display how powerful repentance is as they are now both in the eternal kingdom as brothers in Christ today!

St. Stephen the Protomartyr pray to God that our souls may be saved and the softening of the hearts of those who persecute the Church!

One apostle apostatizes, then one deacon, and then one patriarch, very interesting.

Great video as always, lads. Cheers from Poland! Was once to the Liturgy, I'm currently diving deeper into the Church's teaching, theology, history etc. So your work is of help, obviously. Keep em coming!

Even outside of Church services, deacons are essential for the running of the Parish and Priests often ask them to do various tasks.

Super channel. May your reward be eternal

Love this episode. How do I learn more about the liturgies initially developed by the apostles?

Sf. Ștefan L-a văzut pe Domnul Hristos stând drept în dreapta Tatălui Ceresc, nu șezând, cum spunea un părinte drag, ca să-l întărească pe primul martir creștin în mărturisirea lui, în semn de respect pentru jertfa și mărturisirea lui. Ce frumos!

Thank you so much for this. There is a fresco of St John the Theologian in my church and nobody was able to tell me who the young man next to St John was. However, I was also very distracted by the carpet next to the standard lamp in your studio. I want to take a stanley knife to it and fit it to the floor!

I appreciate the advice on making a better beverage, and must remind all that Christ does end, just as with these videos, with tea.

Question was this towel representative of the one that Jesus wrapped around his waist, and then washed and dried the feet of the disciples?

[Muself]

The context oh the Ethiopian and the Apostle Philip is in itself a denial of the reformist doctrine of free-interpretation. The Ethiopians didn't say "It means ... for me" 😭

Someday I'll be a real youtuber like you

[bandie]

i always thought it was the apostle Philip who talked to the Ethiopian
